Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

Theres enough starlings for that.The maggies are shitting on the fence switches shorting them out. 3 today and will check the traps again tonight when I check the moos.

26 bunnies and a couple of roos this afternoon..

Only shot one roo, but it turned into a twofer. The first photo is a bit deceptive.. they're monumentally ugly things to look at.

Didn't like that,must be getting old.

Ha!

Neither. It's probably the knowing look it's giving us in the first picture then the "sleepy" look in pic two that does it! Would be much easier to handle if it was just picture 2... yes. I'm a pussy. *meeoow*

Got a permit from the ranger to thin out pukekos at a mates pace with rifles, got three only unfortunately as they wised up pretty quick. Only about fourty to go

line them up

another magpie and a satan bird this morning with the hmr.
the satan bird was literally cut in half just below where the wings attach with one wing still attached by just a thread. I shot the magpie face on and from below. pill entered just below the breast and basically removed it's guts and all back flesh and feathers. the hmr is devastating

What rounds are you using there Smidey?
Sounds like the hollow points.... they make the mess.

What's a satan bird? Mynah? I hate those bloody things, raro especially is infested with them! I've half a mind to take a couple of .177 air rifles over next visit so the local kids can start thinning them out!
